Resistance 3 Box Art Revealed

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
The Capelli alt is incredible. I would have much preferred it honestly. I think it would have balanced out all of the ugly logos on the cover.

I wonder where they will slap the ugly, unremovable big round PSN logo on the EU cover like they fucking always do -.-

Didn't you just answer your own question? Of course they will, that is how SCEE handles their fucking PSN branding.

I love this cover. Good job Olly Moss and IG! Fight these shitty generic render covers.

I like how Capelli is not doing a badass epic pose.
In fact he seems kind of tired and lonely which perfectly matches with the game tone.

Please :( SCEE always ruins game covers with the purple zit. It'd be nice to have a clean version on the other side that doesn't have that thing on it :)

Change the fucking background color.

I do the love the city outline shaped out from the teeth of the skull though.

Great boxart, drowned in crummy logos that utterly ruin it.

Totally agree with those calling for an alt on the flipside without all that junk.

... Well the game should be good so...

That to me looks like a product that is very hard to market. I personally don't like it over the previous covers, but whatever. It tries to be minimalist and artistic, yet there are several extraneous product promos placed over the actual work. As a poster great, but not a boxart for a videogame.

Still, should be a great game!

This is the best box art in ages - I love the fact that I didn't notice the New York skyline immediately and that they used a creme color instead of something more white.

Edit: James, fight SCEE so that they don't use their stupid round PSN/Features sticker and ruin it at the last moment.

Never thought I'd see so many complaints about an Orange/Blue contrast.

EDIT: Oh, wait. I just saw the US art. The OP only showed EU before. Fuck me, SCEA.

Absolutely awesome. Definitely the direction to go vs. the typical FPS cover. However, that PS Move logo is fucking horrendous.

I hated it at first for some reason. Then I realized that the skull's mouth is made up by the NYC skyline and it became awesome.

Very awesome. I love it, though this image is my favourite:

I'll print this out and slip it in the front... Capelli being there makes it so much cooler.

But I love the art work, it's super-classy... I wish more games would do stuff like this.

So good! I hope they give out posters at PAX.

Why is this? I feel like crying every time I see a picture of a European PS3 game collection. It looks so bland and depressing.

Yeah, that's kind of the feeling I have too. I think the better option would be to do some bombastic "shoot aliens with yer guns!" render on the front because that's gonna be what lures new people in, then put an alternate cover with this on the flipside, sans all the logo diarrhea, for those who want a more arty touch.

(Really, every game should do that.)

I love it, (NYC skyline is the shit! you know it when you see it type of deal)

Cover of the year? (only if they minimize that PS Move logo)

Very simple. Very different in style to the other two games.

Not sure if I like it all that much, seems a bit bland and overly bright. Maybe it'll grow on me.

It's a step up from the PS2 at least, black text on a white background for every game.

Still, there's something about it that I like, it's simple, it doesn't need to throw the logo in your face every chance it gets. It makes the collection look a bit more cohesive, well, not this gen anyway since most of the other publishers go down the logo route.

Most games on store shelves have the Playstation logos and a lot of them have the "shoot aliens with your guns". This one will definitely stand out.
